A federal judge rejected Sean “Diddy” Combs’ attempt to silence all potential witnesses in his criminal sex trafficking case on Friday, saying his concerns do not outweigh an alleged victim’s right to free speech.

After three judges denied his bail request, Diddy's team says new evidence and bond conditions favor this request to be freed ahead of his May trial.

Lawyers for Sean “Diddy” Combs filed another request for him to be released on bail. Attorneys for the hip-hop mogul proposed a stricter set of conditions that includes around-the-clock security monitoring and very little contact with anyone else besides his lawyers.
